Hello! This is my first attempt for a story. I hope you like it.

I do not own Fruits Basket

Tohru woke up to a nice, warm shining day. The room glistened from the rays of the sun. Today was a special day for Tohru. It was her birthday! She went downstairs to find Shigure in his study working on a novel.

"Where's Kyo-kun and Yuki-kun?" She asked Shigure.

"Oh, good morning, Tohru did you have a good sleep? You must have had a busy night since you slept in so late. Kyo and Yuki went off to buy some groceries. We're almost out you know. So I gave them a list and off they went."

"O-oh dear! They didn't have to! Making sure that we have groceries in the house is my job! I didn't mean for them to go to so much trouble into doing my job! I-I should have woken up earlier!"

"Calm down Tohru. Actually, they were fighting again. They were being so loud that I couldn't concentrate on my work, so I told them 'Tohru would be very happy if you went out to get the groceries today' and before I could say anything else they were racing down the street. Funny sight it was," Shigure said grinning "I assume they'll be back soon. No longer did he say that they heard arguing coming from outside.

"Why did you have to come with me you damn rat! I could have gotten the groceries by myself!" Kyo yelled at Yuki.

"Oh come on you stupid cat. If I wasn't there, you wouldn't even have any money to buy the groceries," Yuki said in his calm, gentle voice. "Good morning Miss Honda, did you have a good sleep?"

"Good morning Yuki-kun. Yes, I did thank you," Tohru said with a big smile on her face. "Good morning Kyo-kun."

"Good morning," Kyo mumbled in a low unhappy voice.

"What would you like for breakfast Kyo? Tuna? Salmon?"

"Tuna's fine," Kyo replied.
Kyo you can at least be more enthusiastic in your voice when you're talking to Tohru," Shigure said reprimanding Kyo.

"O-h no, it's okay Shigure-san. Yuki, how about you? What would you like for breakfast?"

"Whatever you make, Miss Honda, is fine with me," Yuki said politely.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Tohru opened the door and there in front of her stood Hana and Uo, her very best friends. "Hana! Uo!" Tohru said excitedly while hugging them both.

"Good morning, Tohru and happy Birthday! Uo said hugging Tohru again.

"Yes, Happy Birthday, Tohru," Hana repeated.
The room fell silent. The air felt dead.

"Miss Honda, I-It's you're birthday?" Yuki asked

"Yup!" Tohru said with a smile.

"Why didn't you tell us that it was your birthday?" Kyo yelled

"Come on Kyo don't get mad at Tohru. It's not her fault you forget."

"I wasn't getting mad at her! Why don't you just stay out of it you dumb dog! I didn't forget! You and that damn rat did!" Kyo yelled

"I didn't forget," Shigure said "I sent you two off to buy groceries today because it was Tohru's birthday."

"I have to admit, Miss Honda, I forgot about your birthday also and I'm very sorry. How can I make it up to you?" Yuki said sadly.

"O-oh n-no Yuki-kun, it's ok. People make mistakes and forget about things all the time. I don't mind."

"I'm sorry too," Kyo muttered.

"Come on carrot-top," Uo said while placing her hand on top of Kyo's head
"At least try and sound happy."

Up on the hill top were two, dark figures peering through binoculars.
"Kureno," a soft, low voice said "Do you see how happy they look down there?"

"Yes, master Akito."

"One day one of those boys are going to tell Tohru how they feel, but that is not going to occur is it?"

"No Master Akito. What do you suppose we do?"

"We are going to get rid of Tohru Honda...forever…"

YAY! Well that was chapter 1! I hope you enjoyed it!
